Sleight got the signal and opened a portal in the water cooler. Everyone's attention was suddenly drawn away to the screams of the chief of police as water unexpectedly poured out on top of him. The water stopped and Sleight rushed over to the office, mop in hand, and so did most of the staff to get a better look at what was happening.

Thala took they opportunity to stealthy peruse the files on the desk for anything important, memorizing as much as she could. She didn't want to take everything for fear of it being missed.

There wasn't much Thala could learn from the files. A lot of notes about a grasshopper and it really did seem like he was hitting jewelry stores randomly, sometimes doubling back to hit stores he missed or stores nowhere near where the others was. It seemed the only consistent thing was that he didn't ever hit the same place twice.

After seeing the pattern she could, she ducked out and got back to sweeping. Steadily making her way back to the janitors area.

There was a lot of commotion in the chief's office and although everyone soon got back to work it took Sleight quite a while to clean up before he could join Thala downstairs. "Remind me to make a smaller mess next time." Sleight said sitting down and wiping the sweat off his forehead.

"Hopefully what little information I could find makes it worth while. I wasn't able to get much." Thala said and began recounting the pattern she could find.

"So we pick a store that hasn't been hit yet and hope for the best?" Sleight asked, not sounding to optimistic about the plan. "What's this?" Yvier asked from behind them, making Sleight jump once more. It seems like he had recovered his ability to sneak up on them.

Thala felt herself go pale as she immediately thought of the best lie she could think up, "Umm... I don't know the area and Sleight here was going to show me around some of the shops. We were just picking which ones to do." she said, hoping it made enough sense to pass.

"That's right." Sleight quickly agreed. "Just checking out..." Yvier put up his one hand for silence, there was a steel cage in it. "That's fine." The janitor told them. "I didn't mean to pry. I came to ask if you'd put out this trap before you leave. Seems there's a pesky rat in the building that's been causing trouble."

Another cold chill slipped down Thala's spine as she thought she was the rat for a second, but the thought passed quickly enough, "Yeah, out back?" She said, looking at the trap.

"It seems to be all over the building." Yvier told her. "Just put out some bait and let it come to you, no need to go chasing after it."

"Ok, what should I use for bait?" Thala said, a thought sparking in her mind.

"Use something that will attract it, but not something that he can already easily get somewhere else." Yvier told her. "The police like to bring cheese and meat to work so those wont help to lead it into the trap."

"I guess we'll look while we're out. We'll get right on that." Thala said, rolling up the map with the stores on it.

"Thanks." Yvier said and headed back towards his desk. "Well, what do rats eat?" Sleight asked. "Think it likes fruit? I don't think there's a lot of cops that eat fruit in this station."

"On the farm we used honey and crackers. We can pick some up while we're out." Thala said, prepping to leave with her duffle bag.

"Honey and crackers? Sounds nice." Sleight said. "Just let me get my things. So what are we going to do about our other pest problem?"

"I think we can do the same thing, though we'll need something bigger than honey crackers and some say to lure him in. What is he known for stealing?" Thala asked, not having thought to look for that on the desk.

"Sounds like you have a plan." Sleight said. "Jewelry, but not flashy ones that you'll see in display at the museum. Perhaps in this case quantity would be better than quality?"

"Hmm... Not sure how we can bait him into a trap like that. We'd have to steal a bunch of jewelry as well." Thala said quietly, before turning to Sleight, "First, let's get the mouse trap stuff.

Sleight grabbed his bag. "Whether it's real or not doesn't matter, all that matters is that your audience believe it's real. Something I learned in my past." He told her as they left.

"Alright, I'll run my idea by you when we're out of the door." Thala said. *She wants to lure out the hop thief with an advertised cache. Bait to lure him into the trap.*

ooc: Not sure why you put that between asterisks.
"Awesome." Sleight said as they left the police station. "Worried about our boss overhearing us?" He asked when they were clear.

OOC: I was leaving it to exposition so we didn't spend time doing what I thought was obvious. BIC: "You can't be too careful. A bunch of small mishaps can be just as bad as blatantly unveiling our secret identity." Thala said, "The more alibis we've got the better."

"Seems like you know a lot about these things." Sleight said. "Is it a family thing? Like you're from a long line of secret heroes?"

"Ha, no. But I read, or used to read, a lot of comics. Haven't had time since getting here.Too busy living my own." Thala said.

"Really?" Sleight said with a grin. "So you're really just a big nerd."

"No, I'm a geek. A friend spent a long time pointing out the difference once." Thala said.

"There's a difference?" Sleight asked genuinely surprised as they arrived at the store.

"Apparently a geek is someone passionate about something like comics, cartoons, anime, games. They're not inherently "smart" though, like in math or history. A Nerd is someone that's smart in academic stuff and passionate about that, but they don't necessarily dislike comics and stuff. A lot of nerds are geeks and vise versa, hence the common misuse of each term." She said drooling it out like she'd been told it and said it herself many times before.
